nominations through the mails.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that can be used repeatedlyand yet will prevent the escape of the coin without the application of any additional cover, paper, or slip of any kind.

The full nature of my invention will appear from the accompanying drawings and the description and claims following.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan View of the blank out of which my coin-transmitter is made with the parts mucilaged. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the coin-transmitter in completed form.

In detail I take a blank piece of stiff paper 1,-Whose proportions are substantially that shown in Fig. 1, and fold the two sides t in toward each other, as shown in Fig. 2, so their I apply mucilage, glue, or other similar substance on the inner surface of the sides in strips, as shown at 2 in the drawings, so the distance between them will be but little more than the diameter of a fifty-cent piece.v y Then the sides are glued down in place, so that between them therev will be'little pockets or receptacles large enough to receive a fifty-cent piece or smaller coin. I also leave along each edge of the blank short end flaps 3, which are mucilaged also. After the side iiaps are secured in place, as above stated, the short end flaps are turned over and down and glued in place over the side iaps for the purpose of binding them down more securely and also of stiftening the device.

In transmitting coin through the mails with this device one inserts the coin in the various receptacles, there being six shown vin the drawings-z'. e. three on each side. After the coins are inserted the parts ofthe coin-trans- Y but the coins are further prevented from escaping because the edge of the opposite ilap, being directly in front of the opening in the receptacle and near it, serves as an edectual stop or means for preventing the coins from escaping, unless one applies his lingers or bends the paper so that the coin can come out. The coin can be removed by striking the edge -of the transmitter against something, so that the coin in the upper half will be lpartly removed, and then it can be taken outV by the fingers. It is seen that this will hold the coins and can be used again and that it is effectual in use.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. A coin-transmitter comprising a main strip or back of stiff material, another strip secured at intervals to the main strip orback to form coin-receptacles, and a strip or stop piece of stiff material secured to the main strip or back near the openings of the coinreceptacles to prevent the escape of the coins therefrom, substantially as set forth.

2. A coin-transmitter comprising `a main strip or back of stiff material, and two other strips of sti material so secured at intervals to the main strip as to form coin-receptacles whose openings are near and opposite to each other, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A coin-transmitter comprising a single piece of stiff material with two opposite sides folded in toward each other so that their inner edges will be near each other, and with end Iiaps that are turned down and secure the parts together, substantially as set forth.

4C. A coin-.transmitter comprising a single piece of stiff material with its opposite sides folded in toward each other so that their inner edges will be near each other, means for securing such sides to the body-piece at intervals so as to form coin-receptacles opening inward, and end flaps that are turned over and secured down upon'the side strips, sub-
